Orange County Fair Livestalk show. It was really hot and all the animals just wanted to lie around and try to stay cool. This guy didn't mind me getting up close for this intimate portrait. I know it's not totally B&W but it's very close. It makes me laugh.

I believe the intention of the challenge was to take a b&w photo in color mode. This is why desaturation was discouraged. To make it more challenging. I don't think the challenge was to shoot a color photo with b&W in it. It may be a suttle difference in interpretation. I appreciate the humor of the title.

Curiously, the odd crop brings a sense of life to the photo. Slicing the eye with the edge makes me a bit uneasy, otherwise there is an odd, offbeat sensibility to this that I like.

Sorry but there's just too much color here to meet the spirit of the challenge for me.
